All the more reason to setup Adguard Home/Unbound.
Duct-tape that shit to the inside of your case. lol
Only a matter of time now, really.
This shift of the dollar from a global reserve to being just another currency went from a realistic impossibility to "probable" in the course of a 90 days. If it weren't so fucking crazy it would actually be impressive.
I mean, twitter sucked when it first launched, too. Doesn't mean it won't get better.
Not sure why everyone is so hellbent on FOSS software to be in its most usable and polished state on launch but will buy prereleased and/or beta games and put in 10,000 hours into half finished games without batting an eye. The double standard for FOSS developers is insane to me.
To put this into perspective for you, if your NAS sits at idle for 90% of the time (probably true) and an older CPU is 50w (kinda high, but maybe) and a newer CPU is 15w, over an entire year it will save you around 305.76 kWh. Average price per kWh in the USA is 12.89¢. So over a year a new CPU can reasonably save you around $39.41. So it's not nothing, but it's nothing crazy, but lower idle wattage = lower temp = components last longer, which is the real savings.
If an older CPU is only gonna last you 5 years, when a new might last 10, you're going to save almost $400 in energy and generally a CPU today is going to be cheaper than a CPU in 10 years (probably). So it makes sense to spend an extra $200 on a newer CPU and still net a $200 savings over 10 years vs the older CPU.
I quickly got pissed at synology and QNAP and just started making my own shit.
It sucks, because I really like Synology's ecosystem--but I don't buy vendor lock-in devices. Luckly we have arc that lets you use SynologyOS on bare metal. If you get get it working with your hardware it's badass.
Why they don't sell home server licenses for SynologyOS is beyond my understanding. It's a really nice little OS and is specifically designed for NAS.
I've tried TrueNAS, Rockstor, Openfiler (iSCSI), EasyNAS, and a few others and TrueNAS is easily the favorite. Running it alongside Proxmox is ideal if your server is beefy enough.
It does, however ever dollar of tariff revenue goes to the federal government. So it still increases revenue. Especially when essentials are tariff'd. Generally you can't avoid Chinese imports.
Hate to point it out, but it's an entirely different scenario.
We didn't rename the Gulf, but the way its referenced from within the federal government (and its agencies) was changed by EO. Since Google is a government contractor, they're contractually obligated (and legally obligated) to follow the nomenclature expressed by the US board on geographical names or they risk losing all of their government contracts.
So did we change the name of the Gulf? No. Is it shown different to US residence now? Yes. Google additionally released a statement saying;
